Mechanism(s) of Membrane Permeability Transition in Liver Mitochondria of Lamprey, Lampetra fluviatilis L. during Pre-spawning Starvation | Chapter 10 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 16

The opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore in its low conductance state occurs in the hepatocytes of the Baltic lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis L.) during reversible metabolic depression during the pre-spawning migration period when exogenous feeding is turned off, as we previously discovered. The depression appears in the lamprey’s final year of life and

A Review of the Recent Advances in the Surgical Treatment of Longstanding Facial Paralysis | Chapter 09 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 16

Facial paralysis affects people of all ages and has far-reaching functional and psychological implications. Surgical therapy is the sole choice in some circumstances, and it is a huge problem for the facial reconstructive surgeon. The goal of this book chapter was to examine current surgical care principles for this difficult patient population. Various surgical procedures

A Study about Cystoscope: A Viable Alternative Tool for Choledochoscopy | Chapter 08 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 16

To avoid difficulties caused by retained/recurrent stones, complete bile duct stone clearance is required following bile duct exploration. While there is no one optimum procedure, the combination of bile duct exploration and choledochoscopy has been linked to the lowest incidence of retained stones in the literature. If a choledochoscope is not accessible, a cystoscope can

Role of Dexamethasone in Prevention of Pain Flares in Painful Bone Metastases after Radiotherapy | Chapter 07 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 16

In oncology practise, metastatic bone disease is a common concern. Bone is a common location of metastasis in solid malignancies. After the liver and the lungs, bones are the third most common site of metastases in advanced cancer. Breast, lung, and prostate cancers, as well as urinary bladder, uterine, kidney, melanoma, and thyroid cancers, are

AhR-NQO1 Signaling in Hepatocytes Drives a Protective Response against Alcohol-induced NAD+ Depletion and Liver Damage | Chapter 05 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 16

ALD (alcohol-related liver disease) is one of the most common types of liver disease worldwide. It’s critical to gain a better knowledge of the molecular mechanisms behind ALD in order to find new treatment targets and improve liver health. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a xenobiotic receptor that is involved in the hepatic detoxification

Determination of Breast Cancer in Women Under 40 Years Old at Yalgado Ouédraogo University Hospital, Burkina Faso | Chapter 04 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 16

Introduction: Breast cancer management in Burkina Faso is still difficult due to late diagnosis. The therapy options are restricted, and complications are common, resulting in a dismal prognosis. The purpose of this study was to characterise the current clinical condition of breast cancer in women under the age of 40 at Yalgado Ouedraogo University Hospital

A Case Report with Literature-Based Analysis of Hereditary Angioedema Caused by C1-Esterase Inhibitor Deficiency | Chapter 03 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 16

C1-esterase inhibitor deficiency causes hereditary angioedema (HAE), which is an autosomal-dominant illness caused by a mutation in the C1-inhibitor gene. It’s a rare condition that’s exacerbated by pregnancy and childbirth. HAE is a rare condition that, if left untreated, can result in maternal mortality. The case report details the successful treatment of a 24-year-old patient

Determination of the Anti-diabetic Activity of Sphenostylis stenocarpa Seed Milk Extract in Alloxan-induced Diabetes Rats | Chapter 02 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 16

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterised by improper glucose, protein, and lipid metabolism. It’s generally connected with glycosuria, or the discharge of too much sweet urine. The majority of anti-diabetes medicines are not only expensive, but they also come with a significant level of drug toxicity. The anti-diabetic effect of seed milk extract

Determination of Histopathological Spectrum of Neoplastic Tumours of Female Reproductive System in a Rural Tertiary Care Centre in India | Chapter 17 | Issues and Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1

The purpose of this study is to investigate the incidence of occurrence of various benign and malignant neoplastic lesions of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, cervix, ovaries, vagina, vulva, and breasts, in a rural tertiary care centre over a two-year period. The study was undertaken at TSM Medical College in Lucknow, India, and
